"Storytellers Of Lies" is the new single/video by Italian black/thrash metal trailblazer Necrodeath. The track is the first harbinger preceding the band's final album, Arimortis, due on 17 January 2025 via Time To Kill Records.

The band commented: "'Storytellers Of Lies' is a pure thrash track, fast and immediate, reminiscent of the classic Necrodeath sound from the very first note. The lyrics, highly provocative, are a clear denunciation of the music business world. These storytellers, in exchange for money, offer you nothing but the false hope of stepping onto a stage you will never see...".

As indicated, Necrodeath has announced its intention to disband after one last album and a farewell tour in 2025.

The album will be the last recorded testimony before the definitive dissolution of the band. The release will be followed by a farewell tour, which will last throughout 2025. After which the curtain will fall.

Frontman Flegias commented: "Arimortis is a term of Latin origin which indicates the end of a war, the moment in which the fallen are honoured and altars are erected in their name ('arae mortis', the altars of death). Even today in some parts of Italy the term 'arimo' is used to declare the end of the games. We wanted to use this allegory to seal a path that lasted forty years, full of satisfactions, disappointments and revenge. The songs that make up the album contain several references to our long career".

The moment you hear it, you know it's Necrodeath. Formed in 1984, the Italian act is one of the real iconic black/thrash metal bands. With a career of 40 years, the band has helped to shape the Italian metal scene and the international underground as it is today. In 1985, Necrodeath released a cult demo tape titled The Shining Pentagram and obtained incredible success in the underground. The demo is still considered a real gem in the thrash and black metal history. Tons of tributes in major magazines, fanzines and other underground outlets highlighted the release of the first two legendary albums, Into The Macabre (1987) and Fragments Of Insanity (1989).

New records and international and national tours followed one another non-stop until 2020. Like many other acts, the band was forced to interrupt a workaholic path in the underground metal scene. During that period, the band reached out to Time to Kill Records for the release of the last two albums, starting with Singin' In The Pain in 2023. One final record will kick off a farewell tour, which will conclude at the end of 2025. Link
